I just knew Diaz would be on the bench. Doesn't make it any less frustrating.

I imagine Dusty's logic has to do with singleton being a better defensive option at 1B

Well there it is. A crime against reason as defiant as "only this person can start in center field when this pitcher is on the mound, source: my ass" is fireable.

Unbelievable. No Diaz. And 6-9 is just horrendous.
You'd have no idea we are barely clinging to a playoff spot with the ****ing lineups that geezer puts out

Maybe Dusty will "change his mind" and put Diaz in the lineup before the game.

Realizing in a visceral way that this team deserves more credit for even being in the playoff hunt with the severe handicap imposed on it by its stooge manager.

Come on guys, Dusty has to make sure all the guys get in or the player's parents might call him and complain. He is still working on the snack schedule for next week's games

Jose Abreu is hurt and there's three ways Diaz can get into the lineup. First base, DH or catcher. And he's still on the bench.

This is absolutely asinine management.

Can Dana fire bomb Dusty's office?

Holy ****, it's like conceding the game with that 6-9.

It's fine guys, Diaz needs a rest for the playoffs and we've got a nice cushion to work with.

Forget players meeting, the players all need to march into Dusty's office and tear him a new one. He's holding the team back from it's full potential on a daily basis.

Wins and losses in late August in a pennant race are fan stuff. We don't need guys clogging up the bases. On-base percentage is good, but RBIs are better. Diaz struggles with lefties. Everyone trying to help me manage, I don't need it, thank you.

"Running back and forth to first base is hard on the legs. Plus you get tired playing on the infield instead of behind home plate like Diaz is used toโ€ฆ days off are crucial"

(Looks at Maldy and then back at Dusty)

Reading this lineup makes me want to respond like Billy Madison did to Ms. Lippy.

Dusty...You got a job. You got a responsibility. You get your ass out there and you find a fckn way to get Diaz in the lineup.

Deeper Drive into the bottom 3rd.

League Avg 7th / 8th / 9th
wRC+ 91 / 87 / 80
OPS .695 / .683 / .657

Astros 7th / 8th / 9th
wRC+ 84 / 107 / 71
OPS .665 / .750 / .621

Most Common (PA)
7th - Julks (172), McCormick (88), Pena (81), Diaz (49), Meyers (44)
8th - Meyers (196), Dubon (57), Julks (52), Diaz (52), McCormick (46)
9th - Maldonado (316), Meyers (63), Diaz (21), Salazar (15), Julks (14)

Today's 7th / 8th / 9th
wRC+ 74 / 88 / 53
OPS .596 / .679 / .554

1. Maldy weighs things down but we're slightly above avg 7-8-9 (11th per wRC+)
2. The main reason we are above average is because Dusty played Diaz and Chas entirely too much here.
3. JV (or Dusty for JV) is putting the team at a disadvantage in every single one of his starts.

I said earlier we needed JV to go 7 IP and 2 runs or less. Let's change that to less than 1 run.

I wish someone in the media would have the balls to flat out ask Dusty why does he insist on not playing Diaz daily down the stretch when they are literally fighting for a playoff spot.

Dusty is playing with fire. He is doing this out of spite in hopes the team will make the playoffs just so he can tell the naysayers he did it his way and that he was able to rest players, etc. He's a ****ing idiot.
